Wake up without jaw pain or worn-down teeth. Custom-fitted night guards from Eglinton Oak Dental protect your smile while you sleep.
✔ Custom-made for a comfortable, secure fit
✔ Protects teeth from grinding and clenching
✔ Relieves jaw tension and morning headaches
A night guard is a custom-made dental appliance you wear while you sleep to protect your teeth from grinding and clenching (a condition called bruxism). It creates a comfortable cushion between your upper and lower teeth.
At Eglinton Oak Dental, each night guard is crafted from a precise impression of your teeth—so it fits snugly, feels comfortable, and stays in place all night.
Left untreated, nighttime grinding can wear down enamel, crack teeth, and strain your jaw joint. A night guard is a simple, affordable way to prevent costly damage down the road.
You may benefit from a custom night guard if you experience:
If any of these sound familiar, a quick visit can confirm whether grinding is the cause and whether a night guard is right for you.
Protects Your Teeth – Prevents enamel wear, chips, and cracks
Relieves Jaw Tension – Eases clenching and TMJ discomfort
Better Sleep – Reduces grinding so you and your partner rest easier
Fewer Headaches – Less morning pain and jaw fatigue
Unlike bulky store-bought guards, a custom night guard is thin, durable, and made to fit only your mouth—so it’s far more comfortable and effective.
Keeping your night guard in great shape is easy:
With simple care, a quality night guard can last for years and continue protecting your teeth night after night.
A custom night guard may be the right choice if you want to:
A short consultation at Eglinton Oak Dental will determine if grinding is affecting your smile and get you fitted for a comfortable, custom guard.
If you grind or clench at night, our team at Eglinton Oak Dental in Mississauga can help you sleep easy and protect your smile. Grinding can damage teeth and dental work, so if you have a chipped or worn tooth ask about dental crowns or restorative dentistry — and if dental visits make you anxious, we offer sedation dentistry.
Cost depends on the type of guard you need. Many dental insurance plans help cover it—we’ll give you an exact estimate at your visit.
Yes. Custom guards are thinner, fit precisely, and last much longer than one-size-fits-all options from the drugstore.
With proper care, a custom night guard typically lasts several years before it needs replacing.
Most patients adjust within a few nights. Because it’s made just for you, it feels far more natural than a generic guard.
Common signs are waking with a sore jaw or headache, worn or chipped teeth, tooth sensitivity, and a partner hearing grinding at night. A dental exam can confirm it.
Many dental plans cover part of a custom night guard, especially when it protects teeth from grinding damage. We check your coverage before making one.
Yes. A custom night guard or splint can reduce clenching forces on the jaw joints and muscles, which often eases TMJ pain and morning headaches.
Rinse it after each use, brush it gently with a soft brush and cool water, let it dry, and store it in its case. Avoid hot water, which can warp it.
We take a scan or impression at the first visit, and the guard is usually ready to fit within about one to two weeks.
A night guard is thin and fitted to protect teeth from grinding while you sleep. A sports mouthguard is thicker and designed to absorb impact during contact sports.
